Chrome Grill Kit

[IanDouglas]

:D I saw on eBay a kit to make the grill of the GS chrome. For myself I thought the picture of it finished did look smart and sets the car off . The One on my car though in great condition cannot hide the fact that its been in the elements for 10 years . and the plastic looks a bit jaded. I know you can get things to spray or rub on, but its only temporary. So I thought maybe putting a chrome kit on it would be the answer. or shall I remove it rub it down and spray it the charcoal/black colour.

I have to admit I am very tempted to buy the kit though :)

here is the link

There is a post on here regarding chrome grille. Colin Baker said that the MK 2 is chrome underneath and just needs stripping down.here

isn't that the grill that craig (jac114) had on his mk1

send him a PM as he might have some piccies of it :winky:

Yep it was, I sent him this kit, all you do is stick the chrome plates onto the slates of the front grill

Hello all

I've done the grille on my mk2 gs, its come out a treat just used a cotton swab some paint thinner and a stanley blade.

Did a few slats at a time

Thanks guys :D , hope you all had a nice bank holiday as well. I think a chrome grill does set the car off. though I wasnt sure about the bonnet badge (which is all now forgotten) I feel its a must on the chrome grill, so I have two mods to get so far

The headlight lids and the grill :)

Also over the weekend I stripped out the boot and found a new boot light bulb, and every stud that was missig but one :D.

Dare I say the the quality of the build on the things you dont usualy see are a lot better than the Merc, I thought so anyway. even the paint is a better quality.

Anyway when I get paid , ill sort out the membership and post the pictures on here for you.

:) im going to order my grill tomorrow! at last, I got a little sidestepped because I bought a Lexus tax disc holder (its worth paying the money just to use it :P )

I have to say in all my years of motoring I have never had to much hassle pulling off the cheap and nasty holder in this car. It looked really tacky and I think must have popped my arm joint out . I thought the rear sticker was a pain, but this thing was about a foot long by the time it came away from the screen.

The car is looking really smart now , ill take some more pictures as well, so when I pay my membership I'll post them.

Is a shiny alloy holder classed as a mod?

look the same as any other replacement grille, BTW got rid of the horrible sport mesh grille and got a new 2004 grille.........looks much beter than the mesh subdued frontadge :).........Awais, thats the same one....nice one fella!
